Governing Body

Welcome to our Governors Section

 

The Governing Body takes a largely strategic role in the running of school. This includes:

  • Ensuring the school's vision, ethos and strategic direction reflect those of the Church of England.

  • Setting its aims and objectives. 

  • Setting policies and targets for achieving the objectives.

  • Reviewing progress and reviewing the strategic framework in the light of progress.

  • Holding the Headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils.

  • Overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure money is well spent.

 

Types of Governors:

We have 12 members on our Governing Body. Currently, we have two vacancies for foundation governors.

 

They have a special responsibility for ensuring that the character of the school as a Church of England Voluntary Aided School is preserved and developed.

  • Ex Officio Foundation Governor (Reverend) and Headteacher (2)
  • DBE Foundation Governors (6): elected by the Diocesan Board of Education.
  • LA Governor (1): Appointed by the Local Authority.
  • Parent Governors (2): Elected by the Parents.
  • Staff Teaching Governor (1): Elected by the staff.

 

All Governors attend the Full Governing Body meeting every term and are members of either the Standards & Effectiveness Committee or Finance, Staffing & Buildings committee. The Terms of Reference specify their responsibilities.
